WCDR (Writers' Community of Durham Region)’s WILD WORDS Anthology Seeks Cover Design

$150 prize for winning book cover

Calling all artists. The WCDR is looking for some wild cover art for its upcoming WILD WORDS anthology. A $150 prize goes to the winning artist, whose work will adorn the collection of winning entries from WCDR’s themed prose competition.

Entries should be designed for a cover measuring 5.5 x 8.5 inches. The wording should allow space for the title “Wild Words,” the subtitle “An Anthology of Outstanding Prose from the WCDR Competition Fall 2010,” and the editor’s name. Contest judge David Schembri, of SURFACING, will choose the winning cover design.

The cover design contest closes at midnight (EST) February 28, 2011. The entry fee is $5. Entries will be accepted by online submission only and must arrive as a PDF. E-mail entries and any questions to wildwords@wcdr.org. Complete contest details will be posted soon at www.wcdr.org under “contests.” Cover contest winner will be announced in March 2011.

WCDR will also announce the winners of the prose competition in March 2011. The contest attracted international attention; organizers received 130 entries from Australia to Austria, the UK to the USA. Judging is currently underway. Final judge, award-winning author Susanna Kearsley (Mariana, The Shadowy Horses) will select the winners. Publication of the anthology is scheduled for Spring 2011.
